   I think you've confused it with the (really cool, recently released) TwoPointFive plugin for Impact: http://phoboslab.org/twopointfive/

   Yeah - not being aware of this will screw you up! ['10','10','10','10','10'].map(parseInt) // [10, NaN, 2, 3, 4]

   Also, forEach/map/filter all accept scope as a second parameter: blah.map(function(){}, this);

   > The real curiosity of this one for me is that it wasn't done in Flash back then! Foresight! When we re-visit this on Hacker News in 2024, DHTML Lemmings will still work in the browser, and no one will even remember what Flash was

   A while back I woke up in the middle of the night wondering "How the heck did that guy do destructible terrain in the browser in 2004?!"... There was no pixel-level access available (besides XBM images, but they were black and whi

   There are quite a few "canvas-only" environments now (like Create.js that they built it for)... my favourite in Ejecta http://impactjs.com/ejecta - that let's you wrap up your canvas games/experiments in

   What do you mean "and would love not to have to manually close"? What's the difference between hitting cmd-w as opposed cmd-q? I remember when tabs hit the browsers (a zillion years ago) - it was revolutionary! Suddenly you h

    Maybe Musk is convinced by the doomsday argument[0] (or unconvinced by the rebuttals), and sees this as a way to skew the probabilities. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_argument

    I'm can't speak authoritatively on this subject: but I'm pretty sure that telling Guy Stelle "don’t get rid of [Cons], use it correctly!" is a very ballsy move ;)

    The problem is that the alternative is reading on your computer or reader - which sucks (for many) compared with a real book. For me I remember things more clearly when I read them in physical books because the information exists in a &quot

    Where did the Britney Spears thing come from? It's not in the article... or is it the generally accepted "football-fields-long" of age?

    I agree about the download page being too subtle: I _really_ love this new redesign - the old site was impossible to figure out what I was supposed to do or what was going on or what the hell "cabal" was. This new site is clean an

    That's beautiful. It may be a monster, but it started so small in 1992 - then was grown with loving care in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2011!

    Did you work on the "ClickQuest achievement" stuff in main.js? "You're truly a god amongst clickers. Trees bend to clear your path." I love it!

    Every time I realize I'm guessing about (rather than directly seeing) the behavior of my code I think of Bret's talks. I never actually improve my workflow, but at least now I'm angry about it!

    The replies to that tweet are beautiful. Sometimes you forget that not everyone in the world can recognize a cross-site scripting vulnerability when they see one!

    Wow - that was a fantastic(al) and fun read - and then ends up with a cool bit of hacking to actually fetch and add a dictionary from 1913 as the default on your 'puter. The perfect HN post, I say!

    I don't get this contrast thing everyone is saying. My eyes are shit, and the "light grey on white" pops out fine. Any darker and it would be annoying. I really like the current color scheme. My 'puter is a mac with reti

    Good point and made me go "oh yeah, makes sense!": but it's only used as a metaphor in the article which isn't about electricity - so it would be cool if this doesn't end up being the focal point and top comment!
